I appreciate how realistic this is. You see a ton of picture perfect tiny homes that are so minimalist that you can't imagine how people really live there, but the controlled chaos of this tiny home feels believable.
The man cooks sews does his own laundry is well organized that seems almost "unrealistic" for most men though lol.
My sewing career has been stumped by bobbin tension strength. I am not willing to admit the number of hours on RUclips that makes it so I can put those words together, but the problem persists @@annalisavajda252
First tiny house I've seen where you can see that someone actually LIVES in it and we get a sneak preview at actually cooking in there too. I like getting that realistic aspect to it. Nice guy too!
B web yep. I see a lot of videos and I always have a lot of questions when I’m done lol
Bruh like this pretty much is perfect for my left style plus or minus a few things
TOTALLY AGREE!
Great layout. This man did a wonderful job of showing realistic living in a tiny house.
This is what happens when you want to live in a tiny house but you don't want to let your stuff go. He made it work for him and it's a really nice home.
I love his house precisely because it's a little bit messy, like organized chaos. Most tiny house tours you can tell are staged in such a way that it's immaculately clean and doesn't look lived-in at all. His tiny house definitely looks broken-in and realistic. Great video. Cheers!
when I was growing up my mom always used "organized chaos" to describe my bedroom too. But I knew where everything was and it used to drive my mom crazy...

Absolutely 100% true! I love his place & great presentation of his video! Kudos!!!! 👍😊💕
@@vbcoachbretz It also applies to my entire life. Cheers!
IKR?!@@debragindorf4812 Cheers!
Outstanding design. This house is extremely livable. I am amazed at how much stuff he has been able to fit into the tiny house without sacrificing comfort and usalbility.
thank you Nancy! I worked with an amazing Tiny House builder
A well lived home, I love it!!!
This is the first tiny house I've seen that looks like you could realistically live in it! I love the way the minimalist ones LOOK but I don't think its realistic for the long term. This feels lived in, cozy and totally livable. Well done!
Good point! Ultimately, do you. 😊
@@TinyHouseExpedition Agreed - no criticism. If you want to be the minimalist - that's fine, it is good to have your stuff to cook etc. Someone said hoarder - think about it, if this was all in a regular house, let's say small at 1,500 sq ft, what he has in the house is nothing, and you could claim you are a real minimalist in the 1,500 sq ft.
Beth Cattell That's exactly what I was going to say! So many tiny houses I've seen are unrealistic for long term life. They make it seem like you can't have earthly possessions! How many ppl have tried the tiny home life, getting rid of sentimental belongings, only to realize it wasn't possible anymore. This proves you can live tiny and still actually live.
Beth Cattell it depends on the person. This one looks too cluttered for me. I like minimal but would go big on what love like comfort and cooking. What’s great is it’s a manifestation of what you want to live in.
There is a company that makes larger ones.. One model has a steam room/shower..another an iron foot tub...this one looks too cluttered for me. Another company leaves shelves all open..that looks so messy to me.
OMG I loooove this! He has everything in there that you would have in a regular sized house, but 10000 times cozier.
You have so much STUFF!!!! And I love it.
Something about that and how humble you are.. the cool kindness T-shirt. Your home rocks. You rock.
jonie gale thank you! The shirt was from a group in Richmond, va that does random acts of kindness
@@vbcoachbretz i loved your home! Thank you for sharing.👀 Also...wben are you having me over for dinner? 😋
Man child! Love it. Laughing the whole time. Living room looks super cozy. Cool place.
This is the best tiny house I've ever seen.
This guy is funny, the place is cute, he likes lots of goodies in his closets, very nice guy, friendly........neat kitchen, and nice counter, pretty cool.........
I love this house because it is not meant to look nice it is meant to be a useable living space and this is probably one of my favourite living room I am in love with this house
I love that you turned your tiny house show and tell video into a cooking show too..!
Genius !
That was a real fun bonus.
The food was delicious! ☺️😋
@@TinyHouseExpedition A&C are being very kind. it was a LOT on the spicy side that night
Love how lived in this is, I hate the "perfect" ones that look like model homes. This actually shows you can live in it ; )
Completely agree! ☺️🙏 Please consider subscribing.
Great house, Andy! I too love the lived-in look.... that’s real life.... and how it would really look if someone lived there. Thanks for sharing your home!!
He is adorable. Love his way and smile AND he cooks! Great tiny house layout!
Hey, he learned to sew, too! Love it!!
A big sigh of relief while I see this. From the crawl-thru-closet, the cat walk to the kitchen. I love that he has guitar(s), and hasnt learned to play yet! LOVE THIS! BIG thanks for sharing your TINY home.
Proof you can stuff all the shit from a full-sized house into a box on wheels , and still find a place to put it all as you travel into the sunset !
true story the estate sale I had when I sold my house was pretty entertaining. people wanted chine, silver and antiques... and I was selling snowboards, tools, arcade machines, extra camping gear, etc.
This is a "Yes" from me - I too, want to be able to keep my kitchen gadgets! 😁 What an awesome house, & awesome guy! Plus he cooks too? 😍 Whomever she is, she's a lucky gal!
Agree
AND he sews lol! Yup, I was impressed too!
The most beautiful tiny house i ever see. A home with love and soul.
This is one of the more livable tiny houses I have seen! Great job putting together a very functional and lovely home -- using the gooseneck for the living room is great, and showing you really don't have to completely minimize in the kitchen for function is great too! This is a lived-in home that suits your needs, cleverly designed. Thank you for sharing!
Cool house
I had a husband like you, unfortunately, he died of cancer. Your 2 of a kind. I’m a total opposite, I’m totally organized, but I’m not a projectionist. He was fine, once the house was organized, but it had to be organized for him. Just to make myself clear, I give you credit for your happiness, but I have chills watching your stuff. I know my whole life would have been different had I learned earlier to live with less. Better late than never. Love your individualism. Ray O’MARA Poughkeepsie New York
I am sorry for your loss, and most of the tiny house community is really organized and if you find yourself going tiny definitely make the space work the best for you
I can so relate to this guy's style of living. Planning for my own tiny house (and building it all myself and low budget) but I want to be comfortable and Andy looks like he is.
When you want to live tiny but don’t want to leave everything behind.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
If you're downsizing these tiny homes are a welcome addition.
I love your tv room 😍 It looks so cozy . The bedroom closet is such a good idea, love that also. Your kitchen is a little cluttered but I bet your an awesome cook🍝👍
He seems like such a nice guy! And he took advantage of every piece of space in there.
I love how personalized his place is. He really thought out every detail which is what I think Tiny houses are really about. Taking a hard look at our lifestyle and what we really need and don’t. Also can I say I wish more guys were like him.. he cooks, bakes, and sews!!
Shanice Baty just to be fair... I wouldn’t say I sew. I got a cheap sewing machine to make the things I need because you can’t buy them at stores. I got two things made (poorly) and now I’m stumped at fixing a bobbin tension strength issue that has me stopped in my tracks
That's a LOT of stuff for a tiny home. But the guy is so humble and so down to earth
He really is! Love how he shows that there is no one right way to live tiny-do you. ☺️ Please consider subscribing. 🙏
Best designed tiny I've seen yet. Only thing I would have added would be pull down storage between ceiling joists in kitchen area for all the pantry overflow on the countertop. As someone who loves to experiment in the kitchen (and big cookbook collection), this kitchen is the only one I've seen that would store all my toys. LOVE this tiny!
Love the ceiling storage idea! 😊
Honestly it was considered and discussed with the builder but the cost to fit
vs benefit didn't seem to make sense
PLAYING DARTS IN THE TINY HOUSE..😂😂😂😂 YA'LL WILD
On the side note he's definitly a great looking, sweet sounding guy lol. He's going to be off the market soon!
Really, I wanted to prove to myself and others that you don't have t o "give up" anything to go tiny.
Love this tiny house. It doesn’t seem as crapped as some of them. I love the kitchen! He proved you can have all the kitchen gadgets!
Hate spell check which changes your words! Cramped!
I love this house. While it looks a bit cluttered, it proves you don't have to sacrifice much of anything to have a tiny house work. Good stuff!
This is the most honest Tiny house tour. More channels should take note for this video.
Thank You. and certainly if any other content creator want to attempt to make me famous, have your people call my people
One of the best I have seen. I love the catwalk concept with the LR on one side & bedroom on the other. Very ingenious. I am a minimalist, so wd have to get rid of probably 2/3 of the stuff he has, but I like this guy. He seems very fun and lives the way he chooses and seems to be very happy. I think I could live in a Rover. It has lots of storage; not fancy, but very nice. I wd love to see it in person. I dream of having a tiny house, but probably never will. My husband likes our 1800 SF house with 3 BR, 2.5 BA and a Bonus Room over our 2-car garage. I do too, but our children are grown and gone, so we don’t need all this space. But, it is what it is. I can still dream.
One of my friends has the same issue. They're going to build their own mobile tiny for vacations and guests in the backyard. Her long term goal is to convince him one day to move in full time after theyve adjusted to the changes tiny living brings. They've started the framework on the trailer already. It's going up super slow because they dont have a huge income, but once it's done, maybe theyll sell their house and have a bunch of money to travel with :) (maybe an idea? Lol)
@@dlcdaniel705economic freedom is a powerful message for tiny housing. My priorities and life plans have changed a lot since discovering how much freedom I now have after going Tiny
You know how when you watch too many tints and everyone becomes your favorite? This one is really my favorite!
This man looks so happy and he LOVES to cook! Nice homy house.
Wow Andy seems genuinely nice. 🥺❤ He would be a great neighbor.
Wow, absolutely brilliant layout!!! Love everything, especially the living room, so Cozy!!! Would love to be a dinner guest...God bless...
PROBABLY THE NICEST AND MOST HOMEY TINY HOUSES IVE SEEN YET. THANKS FOR LETTING US INSIDE YOUR HOME
Nice video, great house. Minimalism isn't for everyone, and why give up the things you use and love unless your ok with it.
Exactly! Do you, always 😊
What a brilliant video, a home fit for a king. Excellent walk through succinct but informative. A somewhat beautiful home for all seasons, I'm a chef of many years and the kitchen layout was brilliant. The builder is to be congratulated on getting so much for you in the space. All in all one totally awesome home. Thanks for sharing, regards Paul from London
Paul Morgan thank you, when you work with Cornerstone it was a constant collaboration, and the design phase was intensive. But if you’re honest with yourself up front and do a lot of planning most tiny homes are great for their owners...
I have seen so many tiny houses but this one was the best. He was able to have everything he needed! Very well thought out & utilized.👏
loved this one and love the real toilet LOL - he's pretty talented guy!
Love ur design, first time I've seen a comfortable man willing to show his he lives in, and lives his environment and his creation , well done! From Ontario Canada
Really nice crib! Was thrilled to see a REEEAL bookshelf for a change! I especially love the kitchen and living room because unlike many tiny homes, yours shows real utility. This is a space that I'd be glad to come home to.
I loooooove everything about this tiny home, the loft, the guest area, the eccentric staircase, the kitchen, especially the fact that it seems to be very much in use, warm and inviting, the simple shower, the man's spirit! Love it!
Only thing I might have changed is to get a washer dryer combo instead of this stackable one. Seems to be taking up the much needed space. And you don't want anything impeding airflow in a bathroom.
And maybe I would have made the barn door into a kitchen door with a pantry, that hides the toilet like a secret passage. He clearly needs that extra counter space and all those things could easily go on the kitchen door.
But then, no darts. Sorry.
Feels very much like a regular house! Love it.
Now THIS is a realistic Tiny house !!! Love it !!!
Completely agree! ☺️🙏 Please consider subscribing.
this tiny house, deserves a million view!
I can see that he HATES to cook, how does he even eat?😂😂😂.
this is one of the best i have seen.
FANTASTIC - MAXIMIST....LOVE IT ! GOOD JOB.
I like this! Even though the couple had a ton of stuff, nothing is compromised compared to a normal size home.
I've seen hundreds of tiny house tours and this is among the most interesting.
andy is the first male person i've seen living in a tiny house that has a lot of stuff in all areas of the house. LOL 😍😍😍 i love the color of the front door though, nice choice!
it's been fun to see how many other THoWs are sporting the teal front door...
What a cozy tiny house. I love how you did the stairs, nice living space in living room. I finally found someone else who owns guitars and doesn’t know how to play. I own 3 acoustic guitars.
I don't care what nobody says, I LOVE HIS TINY HOUSE!
WOW this tiny house is way nicer than some regular houses this place is gorgeous and the way he has it set up it looks huge I love the living room upstairs just everything about this house is awesome love the kitchen
Love that this place is lived in and not staged like 99% of all the other tiny house videos. The layout is really nice and the walkway is a great space saving idea that enhances the abundance of storage. Still looking for a tiny home tour hosted by someone who isn't over 6 feet tall so us short people can see how really spacious a tiny home can be.
Just as a point of reference I am officially 5'11 3/4 however you can build to your friend groups height. I do have friends that struggle when they visit since they are taller than 6'4 which is the height of the kitchen/bathroom
I'm glad to see how this home is being lived in. I watched the tour that Cornerstone did of it. I like the tweaking of the cat walk
I love the living room over the gooseneck. I personally like the idea of the bedroom being there. And the living room downstairs. But the catwalk Design idea was genius!
It’s as if I’m watching myself in a tiny house. Kitchen toys galore!
Awwww love your home... and Yes its lived in ~smile ~ love the living room up the stairs
Love it! He actually LIVES in his tiny house! What a cool guy!
I love this tiny house! It’s so liveable!
I enjoyed this one so much! I’m a clean person but not the best at staying organized and perfect like so many tiny homes I see on YT. This video showed me I don’t have to be perfectly organized to live in one too! And he has everything in there!
I could live tiny if just me. We camp in a small community in summer and when we rebuilt on trailer we definitely built cookie cutter. Hall with rooms. I wish we knew this concept. Love catwalk. Everything you need
very sweet home, very sweet man, the house did meet all the needs very well, love the sitting room.
This is the first video I feel actually shows what it looks like to live in a tiny home. It's fun to see what they look like just built, but I like that this looks like a normal house on the inside...what I would imagine it would look like if I lived in one of these
andy noticed you have a fairly thick ceiling in your kitchen, maybe you could retro fit some storage for your pantry overflow. you could make some doors that swing down making shelves to house your pantry goods. There are a lot of versions on many videos about tiny homes. you have a great home.
Mary West absolutely there is a few square inches in the loft ceiling and I could do some start of shelving/pull down. When you add moving parts you lose precious inches and add a fair amount of expenses. If I were to redo my build it is something I’d consider but probably “open storage” and trying to save a few inches
Think 5th wheel is the way to go!
I have loads of pantry items, too. Really like the full-height roll-out pantry I've seen some TH have. Some day hopefully....
It is real, it’s cozy. Cozy living room. I could live there seriously.
Amazing house! Thanks to Tiny House Expedition for your beautiful video. The Rover definitely packs it all in. Andy has every kitchen gadget and tool you can think of. His home is cozy and comfortable. Andy is definitely a maximist! Love the design and the chef!
Thank you for the kind feedback! We love showing the broad spectrum of tiny dwellers. 😊
LOOOVEEEE the volleyballs in your living area lol!!!
My absolute favorite thing about this tiny house is the goose neck living room. Having a comfortable living space is the most important thing for me to have in a house and he was able to do what most was not.
I decided I'd rather be able to stand up in the living room instead of the bedroom. other people have made different decsions for them.
@@vbcoachbretz I love it ❤️ it's so practical.
I love this ....so much space...you made room for almost everything..
Love this design!!!! My daughter would love it.
Suggestion - Get a large external terabyte hard drive and burn all your CD's and DVD's to it and set up a network so you get all that shelf space back. Nice place, I like a lot of your ideas.
Fred Ubar thank you and you’re right. I already have three hard drives storing all sorts of past media. (Plus I haven’t figured out how to rip my 3D movies)
This guy is great. You're awesome, Andy! Love the tiny house, too.
I love this design!! I've seen a lot of tiny homes, but this is awesome! Love the living area on the gooseneck, and the elongated loft with storage is so much like I would do!
Oh my gods, the shower! Yaass !!!
Man, this guy is really nice, too!
Love your Tiny House, all the nooks and crannies are great. Shower curtin looks professional; you are a man with many talents.
I love everything about this house......especially the bong in the window. My kind of house.
Incense Burner... It took me several reviews to see what you saw.
I absolutely love your home! One of the best ones I've seen yet, also a great use of space and it looks so cozy. Awesome job!
Best tiny house I love it... I can live here
Drinking game every time he says volleyball. Kidding.....not kidding.
Yep, it is one of my passions, Ive played since 12-13, and it is a big part of my life. What are your passions that would come out in a tour of your home?
Love the stairs/catwalk to both upper sections of the house. it actually gives it a feeling of being able to walk around in a larger house going to different rooms. It does look like he's struggling a bit with the minimalist/not hoarding things though lol! 2 guitars he doesn't know how to play, and bought a sewing machine that has to be stored now that he probably only ever used to lengthen a shower curtain. All of that extra food, and whatever else overflowing onto the top of the counters and range does not make it look "Homey" or lived in to me like a lot of people are saying. It looks messy, cluttered, and like you maybe need to reorganize some cupboards or something. I'm thinking the camping gear he has stored in Rubbermaid containers inside, could be stored outside under the house along with the Kayaks and such. Nice guy, nice space, but doesn't have enough space for him and his enjoyment in cooking in my opinion.
Love this home and the kindness revolutionary. Good one!
Thank you. the Kindness Revolutionary is through a friend of mine based out of Richmond, Va Patience Salgado. She is doing some amazing work.
I love your house. It is cozy and inviting. I love your kitchen as well. Mine would look like this too. Your house invites one to stay and never leave.
He really is a maximist and I love it so much
The best layout and use of space yet! Everything about it is great!
Love your tiny house! Great living room.. love the gooseneck...I’d put my bedroom there because I can’t crawl around.. bad arthritis.. but yours is a very comfortable and cozy living room... I love it, too!
I love this Tiny House
Oh wow you have included absolutely everything I want in a tiny home!!!!
Working with a professional designer and having REALLY honest conversations with them/myself has made it to where i truly enjoy it.
Haha love the fireplace in the living room
This dude is really nice 😂 and great house, really.
LOVE HIS KITCHEN.
Best. Single. Tiny house. EVAH!
I love this floor plan.
Dude, your house is AMAZING!!!!!!!
What a nice house and video, thanks for sharing
This is the first tiny house I've actually had no qualms with. The dude didn't give up a single amenity of any normal house, including the toilet. Just goes to show you that you don't have to try to be a new age hippie to live in a tiny house.
So fun story about that... I used to say I have everything in my THoW that I had in my traditional house except for an inversion board (getting older with a complaining back sucks), a sous vide in the kitchen, and an arcade machine my friends and I had built. Well I bought a new inversion board (still trying to figure out the best way to store it) and my folks gave me a sous vide for christmas. What I call this lifestyle is Conscious Consumerism. Meaning when you add something you usually have to get rid of something that's about the same size. in this case I don't really use my steamer baskets very often so I donated those to fit the sous vide.
@@vbcoachbretz , So you need about a 15x24 inch space for the counter chaos? Any room for a shelf above the cooktop? How about hanging baskets? Any glasses that would look decorative on sink side counter, or mugs on wall? Windowsill? Use liquor bottles as bookends? Cutting board that fits as counter in sink? Anything else that can be nested or stacked? Anything you don't use? Anything seasonal that could go upstairs under the winter clothes? Snacks and sodas somewhere by the TV? Any room for a narrow shelf cart for spices and little bottles? Hang over door storage? Gym locker outside by chairs?
and to be honest I probably qualify as a new age hippie
Love this one! Feels like how I actually live, instead of how I feel I "should" live. I'd need space for all my kitchen gadgets too. And I was really happy to see the shower bump up, I assumed it must be possible but hadn't seen one yet in any of the videos I watched, and I'd definitely need that.
Thanks Lora... Yes. The Bump up idea came about because I knew I wouldn't be happy having to bend over to wash my hair... sometimes a simple solution really works best
